The Forgotten Johor Zoo, Johor Bahru (Part 2)

By step up the stairs, I'm visited the African Lion cage. I was excited, because it's the whole Lion family! And I love the Lion's roar!

That is about 4 meters height from the place I stand to the Lion's cage.

I was standing by the cage to enjoy the 'Roar' of the male lion for almost 30 minutes. I wonder why it's keep on roar....after a while, I understand what it need!! It's Horny! Haha!

I'm appreciates I be able to caught it! But it's chased away all the girls beside the cage! Haha!

After 1 hour at the Lion cage, I continue to walk around...

The environment is calm at relax within the Zoo. Hopefully somebody will improve the maintenance and make it a Better Zoo of Johor.

The Forgotten Johor Zoo at Johor Bahru (Part 1)

Many peoples at Johor Bahru not really notice the Johor Zoo existed (N1°27.518' E103°45.127'). Even some of them know where the Zoo located, but very less of them visit the place. That make me curiously want to visit the Zoo...

The first impression : No Proper Parking area.

Cars are parking along the road

The Main Entrance of the Zoo

"The Johor Bahru Zoo is one of the oldest in the country. It was built in 1928by Sultan Sir Ibrahim and was handed over to the state government to manage in the 1960s and open to the public in 1962.

There are 100 species of animals in the 5ha compound. The entrance charge is RM2 for adults and RM1 for chilren. The zoo opens daily from 8am to 6pm."

The sky seems like not really corporative, once I bought the ticket (MYR2.00)...it started to rain! What I can do was just wait below the shelter....
Once you enter the Zoo, the left of the path are full of birds and parrots.

And on the right, there is a pond for boat riding and some beautiful Pelicans.

The Pelican

After about 15 minutes, the rain stop and I started to walk around.

The Black Parrot

Peacock

The parrot which love 'French Fries'

Little parrot

I started my trip from the left, which are small animals...

Goose farm ??

The white monkey

Indian Spectacled Monkey. Previously been hunted by Police at India.

If the cage below is belong to T-Rex, everyone in the Zoo will be victimize! Poor maintenance.

I believe it's not even capable to cage a Tiger...

Continue on the path, it direct me to this 12 foots Crocodile.

The eye of Crocodile! Not tiger...:)

I don't know the name of the cow above...

Pitiful ostrich!

Flamingo - I like their pink colour long legs

Below are the pictures of the Pelican...



There were many photos I took, but just can't share all of them here....too many!
I finish the left side about 45 minutes and continue walk to the right...
